The fifth annual Canes 5k presented by UNC REX Healthcare and assisted by Raleigh Orthopaedic will take place at PNC Arena on Sunday, Sept. 10 at 9 a.m. The event includes a 5k race, 100- and 200-yard kids dashes, multiple inflatables, and appearances by the Carolina Hurricanes, team staff, alumni, Stormy and the Pepsi Storm Squad.

Race registration includes:

Ticket voucher for a pre-selected 2017-18 Hurricanes home game

Commemorative t-shirt

Customized race bib

Post-race breakfast

Chance to win raffle prizes

All proceeds will benefit the Carolina Hurricanes Kids 'N Community Foundation, which provides much-needed funding to children's charities and education programs throughout North Carolina. In the 2016-17 season, the Kids 'N Community Foundation donated $560,000 to 29 different North Carolina children's charitable organizations, bringing the team and Foundation's donation total to $14 million in cash and in-kind services since 1997.

Full Season Ticket Members have the opportunity to pay a discounted price for the Canes 5k if they do not wish to receive the ticket voucher. Flex Plan Season Ticket Members will have to pay the regular Canes 5k price.

Each 5k participant (excludes Caniac Kids Dash participants) will receive a ticket voucher that can be redeemed for one upper-level ticket for a pre-selected Hurricanes home game. Upgrades to lower-level seats will be available for a small fee, and additional tickets at a special rate will also be available (pricing TBD). Vouchers will be included in the race packet.

To guarantee your shirt size and customized bib, you must register no later than Monday, Aug. 28. We will strive to have extra shirts available, but we cannot guarantee your correct size.

If you aren't ready to take on the full course but still want to be a part of the day and support the Kids 'N Community Foundation, we invite fans to sign up and walk or run the first portion of the course (one-mile loop around PNC Arena).

Runners will meet on the PNC Arena's South Plaza, and water will be provided to all attendees. You do not have to be registered for the Canes 5k to participate in the practice run! This is an open event for new runners, experienced runners, friends and family. All attendees will be required to sign a waiver on the day of the run.
